Every country definitely has different social habits. Likewise, Finland has unique habits that are often carried out by its residents. Summarizing from Brightside, Finland has seven unique habits that other countries don’t have, what are they?
1. Warming the Car in Winter
The first unique habit of Finnish people is to warm their cars from the cold. Usually there is a pole with a socket that supplies electricity, then the cable is plugged into their car’s engine for two hours or more.
In the car engine there is a heating device. When the car is warmed with electricity, the air will be felt inside the car, so the driver will not feel cold. The price set includes parking, Beauties.
2. National Fail Day
Finland has a unique national day, namely National Failure Day which falls on October 13th. The meaning of today is that success will not be born without failure. And on National Failure Day, all artists, athletes, musicians, always tell about their failures on TV.
3. Insect Hunting Competition

This competition is included in the international category. In 2018, there was a man who won this competition, he killed 135 insects, in 15 minutes.

An unusual Finnish habit is to bathe in public places without cubicles or partitions. They are not ashamed to show their bodies to other people.
Reporting from Brightside, people accept other human bodies, without having to hide them. This is similar to the medical world, where there is no room to change clothes.
6. Washing Carpets by the River

The next unique habit is washing carpets by the river. This is an ancient tradition in Finland that is still maintained today. When summer arrives, friends, family, relatives flock to the banks of rivers or lakes to wash their carpets.
This tradition has a good meaning, namely washing carpets on the river bank together, which is a moral cleansing.
7. Likes to consume milk

Another famous drink is vili, namely yogurt. There are even dairy products such as bread cheese called Leipajuusto, this cheese can be enjoyed with salads, jams, and even added to coffee.
These are seven unique habits of Finnish people that do not exist in other countries. Are there any customs of people in Finland that are the same in your country?
